Why it works

• One goose-trick video has 83,145 views; the next best has 10,304, so a single hit drives most of the 95,139 total
• Repeated trick formula: 5 of the last 6 titles use 'Trick' or 'nie wieder' and rose from 252 to 83,145 views
• Nostalgic first-person backstory in every description gives each video a hook
• Output of about 3.5 uploads a week in the first 3 weeks, with 16 videos since Oct 4
• Seasonal timing: the goose video was posted before Martinstag, after which views rose
